[Trailer Park Boys take on new role]

In addition to his recent role in Suck, Alex Lifeson also has a cameo in the latest Trailer Park Boys movie - Countdown to Liquor Day - which premiered at the Atlantic Film Festival last Friday. The movie opens for theatrical release in Canada tomorrow. Alex plays a cross-dressing cop in the film as he described in a recent Prog interview.

As well, Tremblay, Wells and Smith say they're set to play six different roles each, "with a lot of heavy prosthetics," Tremblay said. ...

Thanks to RushFanForever for the heads up. Here's the film's trailer:
